Applicants who earned their secondary education certificate from a private school inside the UAE should apply for a Certificate of Equivalency through their school. This excludes students from the UAE General Secondary School Certificate system (Thanaweyya 'Ammah) or Applied Technology.
Applicants who earned their secondary education certificate from a school outside the UAE must present a Certificate of Equivalency for their secondary education certificate from the UAE Ministry of Education.
Please note that AUS is not involved in the equivalency process or decisions. Issuing of the Certificate of Equivalency is controlled fully by the UAE Ministry of Education.
The first step is registering online at www.moe.gov.ae under MOE Eservices – Service Catalog.
For a detailed list of the requirements and documents, visit www.moe.gov.ae under the Certificate Equivalency section. You may also contact +971 800 51115 or email ccc.moe@moe.gov.ae.
Applicants have to prepare and attest all the required high school certificates and transcripts before leaving their home country and/or the country in which they graduated. For information about the required attestations, please see the section Required Attestations.
Applicants who have applied for a Certificate of Equivalency but have not concluded the equivalency process by the time of registration will be given the chance to register for the first semester, provided that they submit the Certificate of Equivalency before the start of the next semester.
